Universal Music is putting its weight behind the Blu-ray format, with 25 releases from the major hitting the market this year with another 20 to follow next January.

The first is the November 24 release of a live set from The Police,
recorded at the band’s recent concert in Buenos Aires. Universal is
also supporting a “Music on Blu-ray” event at London’s Metropolis
Studios on September 25 alongside EMI, Sony BMG, Eagle Vision HD and
the British Video Association, with the aim of getting retailers and
journalists behind the fledgling format.

The Police: Certifiable, will be available in three formats: a standard
DVD and CD set, a deluxe two-DVD/two-CD release and a Blu-ray/two-CD
set.
